    Hey everyone I was wondering if this was a good moveset and stats for my Roserade...

    Roserade (Female)
    Hardy - Scatters things often

    Attack 163
    Defense 129
    Sp. Atk. 233
    Sp. Def. 210
    Speed 178

    Poison Jab
    Leaf Storm
    Magical Leaf
    Petal Dance

    If My Roserade isn't good, could someone recommend a good Nature and moveset please?
     
    First use EV's.Now Moveset:

    Roserade-Leftovers
    Ability:Poison point
    Ev's:Sp.Attk 255/Speed 255
    Nature:Modest(+ Sp.Attk - Attk)
    Moves:
    Energy Ball
    Extrasensory
    Sludgebomb
    Synthesis/Shadow Ball

    I'm a noob at this so sorry

    ^Extrasensory is useless on Roserade.
    And always ALWAYS use the Natural Cure ability.

    -Don't use Poison Jab when Sludge Bomb is way better. Poison Jab is physical while Sludge Bomb is special. Roserade's physical Attack stat isn't as good as its much higher Special Attack. Always pay attention to the category of an attack to see whether it's physical (orange square) or special (purple square).

    -Magical Leaf may have served you well early in the game, but it's really quite weak and there are much stronger grass moves later in the game which you have access to (i.e. Leaf Storm, Energy Ball). Don't keep weak moves on your Pokemon for too long when you come across moves of the same type that are better and stronger.

    Now for the sets:

    Roserade @Heat Rock/Damp Rock
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature
    Trait: Natural Cure
    -Sunny Day/Rain Dance
    -Energy Ball
    -Sleep Powder/Hidden Power [Ice]
    -Weather Ball

    It can change the weather to its liking. The advantage of sun is that Weather Ball becomes Fire type, hitting Steels supereffectively. The advantage of rain is that it cuts Fire moves and lets Weather Ball turn to Water, hitting Fire types. HP Ice hits Dragons who would be resistant to both types.

    Roserade @Choice Specs
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Modest/Timid Nature
    Trait: Natural Cure
    -Leaf Storm
    -Sludge Bomb
    -Shadow Ball
    -Weather Ball/Hidden Power [Fire/Ice]

    It can do incredible amounts of damage with Leaf Storm thanks to its high Sp. Attack and Choice Specs. Sludge Bomb gives it a second STAB move. Shadow Ball hits Ghosts and HP Fire/Ice is for Grass resists (Steel/Dragon mainly). But Weather Ball is also an alternative if the arena is affected by a certain weather effect.
